Available Courses

The Faculty of Education is able to offer a range of courses to its Graduate Students that touch upon a number of topics pertaining to curriculum and educational administration.

Faculty members bring many of their own interests to those courses that are taught here, addressing concerns and issues as they relate to social justice, the development and theory of curriculum, global and local issues in education, the analysis of organizational learning structures, culture and language, and the politics of identity - to name some of those interests.

We endeavour to offer as many different courses throughout the year, especially in the Fall and Winter terms. Optional courses may be offered during the Summer. A balance of courses in each concentration are also considered throughout the year.

Please note that each stream has its own set of required courses, including research courses, theory courses in the areas of concentration, and final capstone courses in the form of the Final Project Seminar, Major Paper, or Thesis.
